Logic Pro
Logic Pro is a complete music workstation studio you can use for recording, arranging,
mixing, and producing music projects. Logic Pro allows you to build musical arrangements
using MIDI and software instruments alongside audio recordings of acoustic instruments
and vocal performances, Apple Loops, and other prerecorded audio files.
Logic Pro can import and export individual audio files using a variety of formats. For
more complicated projects involving Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro also includes the ability to
import and export groups of audio clips and related information using the Final Cut Pro
XML Interchange Format. The Final Cut Pro XML Interchange Format supports
keyframes, markers, position, filters, and automation data.
Note: Logic Pro is sold separately and is not included in Final Cut Studio.
